Matthew, who is from Miami, reportedly signed the letter of intent with Florida State because his mother would not sign paperwork for him to attend USC.

If Thomas enrolled at USC without a full release from Florida State, he would have to sit out the 2013 season.

Last week, Notre Dame signee Eddie Vanderdoes, a defensive lineman from Placer High School in Auburn, Calif., chose to attend UCLA even though Notre Dame declined to grant him a full release from his letter of intent.
